It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took off his sandals during the prayer, and the followers behind him also took off their shoes (in following him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked (after the prayer): "What made you take off your shoes?" They said: O Messenger of Allah! We saw you taking off your shoes, so we took off ours too. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In fact, Jibril (peace be upon him) came and informed me that there was filth on one of them (the shoes), and for that reason I took them off; so do not take off your shoes (without a reason)."
The narrator named Abu Hamzah is da'if (weak).
